Most days begin about the same for Jeff Smith. He makes sure to squeeze in time in the home gym and tries to eat healthy. Smith is really like most Americans, except he is completely blind.
“It’s called retinitis pigmentosa,” Smith explained.
It’s a hereditary disease that slowly stole his sight.
“Usually, it starts out in the periphery and slowly works its way in until it’s like you’re looking through a tube,” he said.
Smith has had to relearn just about everything in his life.
“You know, things like brushing your teeth, finding clothes to wear,” Smith said. “I probably don’t match very well here today.”
Technology has become like a best friend.
“I use technology from the moment I get up from probably the moment I go to sleep,” Smith said.
This past election cycle, he tried something for the first time.
“Anything new or different to a blind person is scary,” Smith said.
He voted entirely on his mobile phone using an app called “Voatz”
His country was among several in the country participating in the pilot program. The pilot program was for voters who are either disabled or overseas at the time of the election.
“My county has historically been a bit of a mess when it came to elections,” said Utah County clerk Amelia Gardner Powers.
Gardner Powers decided to try and clean things up.
“We deliver your ballot to you on your phone, you mark your preferences on your phone and then you submit it back to us,” Gardner Powers said. “We actually print off your ballot using a ballot printer and run those through the scanner with all of our other ballots.”
